Abstract
It is, of course, unusual for an author to begin his paper with acknowledgements but I have elected to do so because, although this paper has only one named author, it is in fact the work of a group of people, namely the Committee of the Aslib Co‐ordinate Indexing Group. The idea for the project, the style and format of the questionnaire and the basic method of processing were all arrived at in committee. My contribution was to distribute the questionnaires, process the returns and to agree to publish the results. I offer to the other members of the Committee my sincere thanks for all the work that went into this project.
